The LARC2 Remote960L
Shortcut:
Any numbered item available in the curre n t
mode, visible or not, can be brought up by enter -
ing its number with the Numeric Keypad on the
LARC2 control surface.
Soft Button Labels identify the currently available soft but-
tons. The currently active button is highlighted with a red
outline. Buttons with grey backgrounds will cause a con-
text change; those with yellow backgrounds cause an
immediate action. Buttons with blank legends do nothing.
The System Status Display is present in all screens. In
Fig. 2-4, it shows that the current sample rate is 48kHz, that
the Word Clock source is internally generated, and that
the 960L is locked to that clock source.
If the Word Clock were external (via either the AES input 1-
2 or the BNC Word Clock input), the padlock symbol would
show the state of Word Clock lock. If lock was lost, the
padlock box would flash red and the 960L outputs would
automatically mute.
The Machine Status Display is also present in all screens. In
Fig. 2-4 we see that the 960L is configured as four
machines, and that Machine 1 is currently selected for
editing. Here we see:
• Machine 1 is a 5 In x 5 Out machine on the first DSP
card
• The state of the Mix and I/O parameters for the
machine we are editing
The Joystick Status Display is also present in all screens. In
Fig. 2-4, it gives the joystick position and the resulting
Shape and Spread values. The parameters currently
assigned to the joystick and their settings are listed in two
boxes to the left of the Joystick Map. The small colored
dot at the center of the map shows those parameter set-
tings graphically. The dot is red if the joystick is not active
and green if it is. The cursor shows the joystick’s current
position. Pressing the JOYSTICK Button on the LARC2 con-
trol surface sets the parameters to the joystick’s current
position and activates the joystick.
The V-Page legend in the Joystick Status Display indicates
that the joystick is set to a V-page, or virtual page, a
Program- or Register-specific collection of parameters and
settings assigned to the faders and joystick. (See Chapter
3, Basic Operation and Chapter 4, Operations in Detail.)
Fader labels are in the Scribble Strip just above the Soft
Button Labels. These display the parameters currently
assigned to each fader, and their settings. When a fader
is touched, the associated parameter is highlighted in
yellow.
ABOUT THE FADERS AND JOYSTICK
The faders and joystick always control some aspect of the
audio, no matter what mode the 960L is in. It is the active
control mode that determines which audio parameters
are controlled. This table shows the mapping.
